Panda has two different types of capacity. It is a 0.6 litre, 3.5 cup rice cooker or 1.3Â litre multicooker.
Let’s take the first two capacities – 0.6 litres or 3.5 cup. Rice cooker capacities are always referred to in litres or cups. Panda is a 0.6 litres capacity rice cooker and it can therefore cook 3.5 cups of uncooked white rice or 2.5 cups of uncooked brown rice – each cup is 180ml/g. So, if you want to cook 1 cup of white rice, that would be approximately 180g or if you want to cook the full capacity of 3.5 cups, that would be approximately 630g of uncooked rice.
The third capacity of 1.3 litres refers to Panda’s multi-cooking capacity. This means that the inner bowl can hold a maximum of 1.3 litres of liquid.

Gave this as a gift to a friend. We tried it as soon as he opened it using the delayed start feature and Calrose rice. It came out great. Highly recommended.

Had a Zojirushi for 16 years but the inner bowl was all scratched up and a new bowl was 50. Price wasn’t an issue but wanted something not coated with Teflon so went with this one little guy and really happy with it. Wash ur rice in a separate bowl and stir it once it’s cooked. I use a silicone dish cleaner. Also I havent had issues with leaking, make sure u empty the little drain after every use and pop out steam inner lid to wash and make sure water isnt stagnant under there. Saw someone say their screws rusted, I would imagine it wasn’t allowed to air out. When it’s empty, I don’t ever close it until its totally dried out.

Works exactly as described, I’ve made 4 different types of rice including brown and short grain and it’s all done perfectly every time. Never burnt, never dry nor wet, just perfect every time. I purchased this because it had great reviews and it was a good size for my small family. There are some concerning reviews regarding longevity and the lid so we’ll see how it goes. I’ve used it 8 times since I bought it last week so I’m going to put it through the paces

I usually buy high end rice cookers made in Japan. But I wanted a smaller rice cooker for when I only want to cook a small portion of rice. I took a chance on this brand I never heard of. Wow I was impressed! It is well made, with a high quality inner pot. It cooks rice as well if not better than the Japanese brands.

This rice cooker is great. I love the variety of functions and it is pretty easy to use. It is small enough to not take up much counter space. I also like that it is easy to clean

I have used it for brown, sushi, and long grain rice so far. I even made a rice pudding in it once. It does everything it says and doesn’t burn the bottom of your rice. Definitely worth it!

This is an amazing rice cooker. Two cups can feed a family of 4 the whole day. I have only been using white rice so far and it tastes amazing. I made Mexican rice using this and it came our delicious. The rice stayed warm and was fluffy. It was easy to assemble and use.
